Episode 137 of Chicago Race of the Day returns to the two-year-old maiden ranks for a free-for-all. Friday’s 7th race at Arlington is a four-and-a-half-furlong polytrack sprint for juvenile fillies, and it drew an overflow field: twelve plus one also-eligible, hence it running (just a little) on the long side. Join me for a romp through pedigrees, trainer angles, and what makes a horse interesting in such a crowded bunch.
